Around Torino

Early start and one of the first stops was a wonderful espresso and pastries in a cafe in Piazza Carlo Felice. Wandered up Via Roma and bought some clothes for George in Zara.
Further wandering northwards through Via Lagrange and Piazza San Carlo - I'm sure this was one of the places "The Italian Job" was shot. Ended up at the main food market. Fantastic place with mountains of wonderful fruit, veg, meat and fish. Bought some coffee and cheese. Back to hotel for a rest via excellent chocolate shops/cafes Peyrano and Platti.
Back out again once the shops opened and did some more shopping - including a new Gaggia coffee machine in red. Dinner at a local restaurant- pizzas and risotto - nothing special.
Torino - Piazza San Carlo, cakes in Platti and Fish market
